Experiences
Beyond the game drive
Day and half-day experiences around Arusha and Moshi, grouped by the town they happen in. Each is charged separately and each fits an arrival or departure day.
The Tanzanite Experience
Tanzanite is mined commercially in a single area of northern Tanzania, a short drive from Arusha. This half day is how you see where it comes from rather than only what it costs.

Questions
Adding experiences
Can these be added to any itinerary?
Most can. They are half days and full days around Arusha and Moshi, so they fit an arrival or departure day without touching the safari itself.
Are they included in the safari price?
No. Every experience here is optional and charged separately, which is why they are on their own page rather than buried in an itinerary.
Can I book one without a safari?
Yes. These are half and full days around Arusha and Moshi and do not require a safari booking.
